Title: A Past and Future Secret Album: Imaginations from the Other Side Transcribed by Alexander Schmidt ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A Past and Future Secret --------------------------------------- taken from the Blind Guardian album "Imaginations from the other side" This song is taken from the BG album "Imaginations from the other side" and I think it is the best ballad Blind Guardian had ever done but also I think that the lyrics are very bad. I tried to translate it and I didn't really understand what Hansi will say with these song. The music part is very difficult and very (!) good. The text is something about the artus legend but I think Hansi has a better interpretation for this song as I as I translated it. If someone wanna have the german version send a request to me and I will send you the lyrics. So long, sleep well my friend :) Mail : schmidt7@studm.hrz.uni-siegen.de blinderwaechter@studm.hrz.uni-siegen.de unreal@fsr12.informatik.uni-siegen.de Intro (2x) : Em D Hm Em D Em !--------------------------!--------------------------! !-----0--1--0-----0--------!--------------------------! !--------------2-----0--2--!--------------------------! !--2-----------------------!--2--4--5--4--2--0-----2--! !-----------------2-----0--!--------------------2-----! !--0-----------------------!--0--------------------0--!
